The Business (2013–2018): Season 4, Episode 1 - Reposicionamento Familiar - full transcript

PREVIOUSLY...

How about going public
with Oceano Azul's stock ?

Oceano Azul grew even more,

drawing the attention
of a big company

which offered to purchase it
for a lot of money,

keeping Karin as the CEO.

So I'm against prostitution ?
That's ridiculous, Carpeaux.

I have a new dream.
I want to build a sex emporium.

Twenty-five floors.

I don't know how or when,
but that's what I want to build.

My parents thought
I worked at a consulting firm,



but I really wanted
to marry a millionaire.

- Wait. You have nothing ?
- Nothing.

Hey.

I did it, Luna, I'm rich.
Will you marry me ?

I'm going out with Magali
and will come back later.

-My husband's cheating on me.
-With my wife ?

-Cheating on me with that ?
-What's this ?

-It's your fault, Sabrina.
-My fault ?

-You got a lover first.
-A lover ?

-You're my lover.
-What ?

We're all fighting and alone.

Bonobos never fight
and are free to make sex.

That gave Magali the idea
of a poly love community.

Hi, Zanini.
I have an amazing idea.



My husband knows our son's blood type
doesn't match his,

so the boy is your son.

I need to toughen up the kid.

Make him fall in love with you
then smash his heart to pieces.

-Please forgive me.
-I won't do it.

Screw it, he isn't even my kid.

I forged the test results.
I wanted to have a son.

I need them to think
I trained a girl to replace me.

Hello. I'm Mia.

I need you to help me train her.

You're gonna be a hooker.

It's my personal war
against boredom.

Mia, you'll lose your job.

You will go back to Veranópolis
to live with your parents.

Are you gonna pay the price ?

You pay the hooker
and come back home,

or you'll see your kid
once a month.

It'll be tough for both of us.

Will you back off
if I stay away from Augusto ?

Stay, Karin.

- What do we do now ?
- Make her dream come true.

The emporium she wanted
on her family's land.

I know how to get the money
to fund the building.

- Ever heard of Giancarlo Tardelli ?
- The Italian billionaire.

I hadn't seen
such an absurd project in ages.

Or such a great project either.

It's Karin !

I know what I need to do,
devote my entire life

to stop the discrimination
against sex workers.

I'd love to tell our story
in a book.

We'll only let you
tell our true story

if you include a chapter in your book
which is called "The Emporium."

O NEGOCIO

FAMILY REPOSITIONING

The Greek hero Ulysses
dealt with a lot of danger

and experienced
several adventures,

but he only realized
the greatness of his experience

upon seeing his life
related as a story.

Then he cried.

Karin was isolated
for two months writing her book.

While she put her memories
in writing,

Oscar and I created
our own memories.

After hitting the jackpot
cheating at poker,

Oscar spent his time
having fun with the girls,

and entertaining the clients
at our new club,

always holding a Manhattan.

He had turned into a sort of
PR guy for the club.

So I told the CEO that just by meeting
with me he had made history,

and his next step was
deciding how to make history,

as the guy that closed
the deal of the century,

or the guy who rejected
the deal of the century.

- So, did it work ?
- Almost.

We got back together. It was
the best stage of our relationship.

We were getting married
a few months later.

Magali on the other hand...

Nobody wanted to be part
of her poly love community.

So she ended up
with only one person.

Hi, Miltinho ? This is Ariel.

You're at the restaurant ?
Great. Great.

Go ahead and order.
I'll be right there.

Order only the best,
wine, anything you want,

because I'm celebrating
a great deal I just closed.

It's all on me, okay ?
I'll be right there.

- Ariel.
- Yes ?

Aren't we having lunch
with the architect ?

- Sure.
- What about your friend ?

Miltinho ? What about him ?

- Didn't you say you'd be right there ?
- That I did.

Why ? You're not having lunch
with him.

- Because it's fun. Isn't that obvious ?
- No, it is not obvious.

Cesar, that's Miltinho's
favorite restaurant.

He's so itching
to spend my money,

he'll order lots of things
and get himself into a pickle

because he won't be able
to pay the check.

So he'll either jump out
the restroom window,

and say goodbye
to his favorite restaurant,

or pay the check
with his rental money.

- It's funny in any case.
- That's wrong, Ariel.

Wrong ? No it's not !
Miltinho himself will find it funny.

Not now,
but in some ten years or so.

In my 20 years
as an architect,

I never saw a project
get approved so fast.

Juju, Fabi and Margot
did a great job.

They are amazing.

They helped a client of ours
who runs the Rio zoo.

If it weren't for them,

the pandas would still
be eating bamboo on the ship.

There's no red tape
a good blowjob can't bypass.

The right mouth
in the right place,

and Brazil would advance
50 years in just five, right ?

Soon afterwards,
Karin's dream started coming true.

The building's cornerstone
was laid.

The club never had
so many clients,

and we were all convinced
the emporium would be a success.

After facing several obstacles,
and experiencing many adventures,

we could now look back with pride
and look forward with hope.

We had won.

THE END

Please be honest.

If you don't like anything,
the cover, the font, whatever,

now is the time to say so.

- Alright. Show us already.
- Okay. Here's the cover.

That's beautiful !

Classy, right ?
Not vulgar or sensationalist.

- It's perfect, Karin.
- And this is the layout.

- Excellent taste, Karin.
- That's right.

Congrats, Karin.

- Congratulations.
- Thanks.

When's it launching ?

Next month in São Paulo, Berlin,
then the rest of the world.

Unbelievable !

We're having a high print run
plus a lot of publicity.

- I'll get the champagne.
- I'll get the glasses.

- It'll be a huge success.
- I certainly hope so.

- I guess it's time, right ?
- Time for what ?

To finally tell our folks
what we really do for a living.

Because when they read the book,

they'll know Oceano Azul
was a sex club,

and reach their own conclusions.

We need to tell them
before it's launched.

Right.

- Cheers, Karin.
- Cheers.

Thank you.

Later that day, Magali, Mia, Karin and I
all phoned our parents.

I chose a public venue
to minimize the risk of a huge fuss.

- Lunch tomorrow. Can Dad go ?
- It's always packed, honey.

I'll get us a table, Mom.
No problem.

Hello.

Mom, I'm coming over
for the weekend, okay ? We need to talk.

- What about ?
- Some things. I'm fine, don't worry.

It's about my job.
I'll tell you when I get there.

Hi honey.

Hi Dad.
I'll be in Veranópolis tomorrow.

- Really ? What about your job ?
- I took some time off.

- Great. I miss you.
- I miss you too. Dad...

- Yes ?
- I love you, okay ?

Promise me
you'll never forget that.

Hello.

Ricardo. This is Joana.
Elizabeth's daughter.

Joana !
When am I going to meet you ?

That's precisely why
I'm calling.

I'm flying to Mexico City
for the weekend.

Great !

I need to discuss
some things with Mom,

and I'd like to meet you
and your kids.

I saw them on Facebook.
They're so cute.

Thank you.
Are you staying with us ?

I don't want to impose.
I'm staying at a hotel.

Of course not.
You're staying with us.

It's fine, I...

No, no, say no more.
You're staying here, period.

Your mom came out of the bathroom.
Hold on. Love you.

Love you.

It's Joana.
She'll be here for a few days.

- Hi honey.
- Hi Mom.

What great news.
I'd love to have you here.

That evening everybody spoke
about just one thing:

How to come clean
with their parents.

I'm not phoning her,
not taking her any presents.

I'm not doing anything.

I'll just stand in front of her, look at
her directly, and tell her I'm a pimp.

That the necklace I got her
came from escort money.

The rings, the Caribbean cruise,
her sixtieth birthday party,

all of that
was from escort money.

"And you thought escorting
was evil, right, Mom ?"

"Come here, Mom.
Give your dear son a kiss."

- You think that will work ?
- You don't think so ?

I'm not explaining a thing.

"I'm an escort, and please,
pass the potatoes."

I agree with you, Magali.
It's better to go straight to the point.

Except with Dad.
I need to soften the blow for him.

But he doesn't deserve it.

He won't speak to me in months
since I told him I'm gay.

He's such a bigot. He doesn't deserve
my concern for his feelings.

Why should I ?
He has no feelings anyway.

I'll be blunt and also tell him
I'm marrying Oscar.

I'll just let him have it,
I'm an escort,

a sex club worker,
and I'm getting married.

Do that, Luna.

- It's the best way to go.
- I agree.

Do you know
how to tell them, Mia ?

No, but I know
how my parents will react.

Mom will be sad,
but she'll be quiet.

She'll think it's Dad's fault
for being so strict with me.

But she won't dare
tell him anything.

To Dad it will be unacceptable.
Totally unacceptable.

He isn't the great intellectual
he dreamed of being,

and he passed me his dream.

He raised me to be
what he thought he should be.

Now he'll find out
I'm an escort.

He'll be so upset,
start pacing the floor,

smashing things,
but he'll control himself

because that's what
a genius would do.

He'll focus on his work,
try not to think about it.

And if I ever have a kid,

he'll try to turn him
into what he wanted to be.

So at age three he'll learn
where Belize is, and how a mill works.

- What about you, Karin ?
- I also know how my mom will react.

I'll be at her place
after a ten-hour flight,

and nothing will be ready,
no breakfast,

my room in a shambles,
no sheets on the bed.

She'll apologize, say she's very busy,
that she has so much to do.

She never had the time
to be a mom, ever.

It's tough, but I'll tell her
everything that happened

when she moved abroad
and I was left alone here.

Mom will listen to me quietly,
then make up some excuse to leave.

Probably a headache
or something of the sort.

And when I'm in the cab to the airport,
she'll just say, "Come back soon."

I don't expect her to be my mom.

She never was
and certainly won't be now.

My Dad stopped to talk to me
when he realized I was gay.

So now,
I don't need to say a thing.

MEXICO CITY

Karin knew a lot would change

when her book was published
and her story was made public.

But she knew one thing
would never change,

her relationship with her mom,
because they never had one.

So in any case
she had nothing to lose.

And she didn't expect
to make the slightest effort.

- Joana !
- Hi Mom.

- You're so beautiful.
- Thanks.

Karin was in for a big surprise.

They all welcomed her
very warmly.

The room was in order,
the bed was made.

Breakfast was already served.

Your mom was overjoyed
you were coming.

- She is so proud of you.
- Really ?

Yes, she's always talking
about how successful you are.

- Joana, look what I made you.
- Sweet corn cake ?

Awesome.
I haven't had this in ages.

Her favorite dish
when she was a kid.

She likes it like this
with no aniseed, right ?

- Right.
- Try it. See if you like it.

It's delicious, Mom, thanks.

- Guess what she loved as a kid ?
- What ?

She mixed ham and Jell-O,
and ate it like that.

- No way !
- Stop it, Mom.

But why ?
You're with the family.

Yes, there's no need
to be embarrassed.

Or is there, right ?
It's better to keep it a secret.

- How about a Manhattan ?
- Thanks. I don't drink places.

- You know it's not a place.
- Yes but it still feels weird.

- How's your movie going, Yuri ?
- Fine, just fine.

- Has Ariel seen any of it ?
- Not until it's done.

- Hi Yuri.
- Hey Luna.

I'm glad you could make it.

We asked you over
because we need a favor.

- What ?
- We...

We want you
to be our best man.

- Really ?
- Will you ?

Of course I will, my friends !
Come here !

I swear to look after you
as if you were my best friends.

I thought we were
your best friends.

That's why I'll look after you
as my best friends.

- Luna.
- Yes ?

- Got a minute ?
- Sure. Give me a minute. Yes ?

Remember the client with several
government contracts ?

Yes. Why ?

He got a contract to organize private
parties at São Paulo's best beaches.

He wants me to be his partner.

I thought you could lend me
some money...

Sorry to interrupt.
Is your client named Camilo ?

You know him ?

- That bastard's here ?
- At the pool bar.

Unbelievable.

Whiskey.

I see they let a jackal in.

You need to be a jackal
to know a jackal.

So they let two jackals in.

They don't know
the risk they're taking.

Spinning
the same old beach yarn ?

- Never fails.
- Luna. Come here.

Jackals, jackals,
from São Crispim street.

- Always together.
- Always united.

What's going on ?

I went to school with Camilo,
we lived on the same street,

we were the founders and only members
of São Crispim Street Jackals.

- Really ?
- Yes.

How do you do.
I'm Oscar's fiancée.

- And one of the owners.
- Your club's so much better than ours.

The only female we had
was Carmen Electra's poster.

So you finally meet.
I made my first heists with him.

Yes, you told me.
Didn't you leave the country ?

- Yes but I'm back now.
- Great, we'll see you a lot now.

See you, I'm having lunch
with my parents.

Right. Good luck.

- Thanks. Bye.
- Bye.

Let me introduce Yuri,
our best man.

- You're getting married ?
- Yes.

- Is it a heist ?
- No, it's for real.

I walked in the restaurant
determined to be cruel.

Dad proved to be homophobic
and insensitive,

so I'd be insensitive too.

I'd come clean with them
as bluntly as I could.

- Hello.
- Hi honey.

I'll go straight to the point.

I asked you to meet me here
to tell you something.

- What was that, honey ?
- Wait, it's my turn to talk.

I can't believe
you didn't hear me.

I'll let you speak afterwards.
This is important.

I...

I... I know
I was inappropriate with you.

I shouldn't have been so upset
just because you...

You said you were gay, right ?

You need to understand
I'm from a different generation.

It's not that easy for me
to accept such things.

But I want to learn, okay ?
And tell you you're my child,

and I love you
just the way you are.

The present.

For you, honey.
Forgive me. I love you.

Thanks Dad.

It's beautiful.

What did you want to tell us ?

I wanted to say

how sad I was because Dad
wouldn't speak to me.

And I wanted to change that.

But he cleared that up.

Okay. Let's order ? I hear
the breaded veal cutlet is awesome.

That same day,
Magali went to her parents' ranch-hotel.

It's rude to horn "screw it"
in Morse code to your parents.

- I don't know the Morse code.
- It was a coincidence then.

- What's with the outfit ?
- What about it ?

-Did you borrow it ?
- No, it's mine. Why ?

It's pretty. Hi honey.

- Can we borrow your car ?
- Our AC is broken.

- Sure. Are you going out ?
- Right now.

- Right now ?
- A lunch date.

- But I just got here.
- There's food inside.

- We need to talk.
- We can talk this evening.

Thanks honey.

Hi Jamal.

- Hello Ariel.
- Hi Simone.

- How are you ?
- Fine. Is Mom in her room ?

- No, she's knitting outside.
- Okay. Thanks.

You're welcome.

Hi Mom.

Hi honey.
It's so nice of you to come.

You look lovely.
Just like Brigitte Bardot.

You're exaggerating, honey.

I'm not exaggerating.
Have you seen her lately ?

You always have
something funny to say.

I love to see you smile, Mom.

- I have something to tell you.
- What is it honey ? What's wrong ?

Calm down.

- No. What is it ?
- Calm down.

Calm down ?
You know what I heard today ?

What ?

They razed the Cambuci chapel.
Our family was christened there.

So sad.

- Remember Tarcísio ?
- The cleft lip guy ?

Yes, he passed away.

He was so young, honey,
and such a sweet guy.

So, tell me, honey.
What's the latest tragedy ?

It's not a tragedy.
Please, calm down.

It's... Good news.
I don't need surgery for that hernia.

Honey ! That's great !

Okay.

Good job.

The campaign's going great.
I think I could win.

You think you could ?
He's being modest, honey.

He's the new dean.
He's first on the list.

- That could change at any moment.
- Not this time.

Admit it, you're realizing
your dream of being the dean.

Fine, I admit it.

- Congratulations, Dad.
- Thanks.

- Mia. Is everything okay ?
- Yes, everything's okay.

But ?

But I need
to tell you something.

It's great for me,
but you might think differently.

What is it ?

I made a career move
a long time ago

that transformed my life
and made me very happy.

If it made you so happy,
why do you sound so gloomy ?

Because I'm an escort.

Mia told them
everything that happened

since Sônia got her that job
at Oceano Azul.

It was a long conversation.

Finally, her dad did everything
Mia said he'd do.

Almost everything that is.

You need to quit doing that.

- No, Dad, I'm not quitting.
- Yes, you will. I will make you quit.

She made you a corn cake ?

- Yes but not for me.
- I don't follow you.

She does those things
to impress her husband,

to pretend she's a good mom.

She'd never do any of that
if he wasn't around.

- How can you be so sure ?
- I lived with her for years.

But you were also away for years.

It's my publisher.
I'll call you back.

- Love you.
- Me too.

- Hi, Martin.
- Hello, Karin.

How did you like the design
of the book ?

- I loved it. It's really good.
- Great. Everyone is excited.

- It's gonna be a big hit. Yeah ?
- I hope so.

It will be. I'm sure. But listen, Karin.
I need to ask you something.

Tell me.

The president of Lockheart and Jordan
got a hold of your manuscript.

Lockheart and Jordan
is the holding company

whom bought Oceano Azul
from Carpeaux.

I know.

It's a really large company.
And very important one.

And they're putting pressure
on our publishing company.

They want us to publish your book
without mentioning Oceano Azul.

No way.
You know that, by contract,

I have final say
on the contents of the book.

Yes, of course. It's all up to you.
I just wanted to ask you.

I'm sorry, Martin.
But this is a deal breaker.

There is no problem.
I'm on your side.

The whole publishing company
is on your side.

Thank you.

Ok, I'll let you know
if anything comes up. Bye.

Bye.

Come in.

- Look what I got.
- Cool. I loved puzzles.

I know, but I never had the time
to do one with you, did I ?

- Right.
- Want to do it ?

- Now ?
- Got something better to do ?

No.

- I couldn't do it, Oscar.
- Again ?

He tried so hard to accept me
as a gay woman, I felt sorry for him.

Luna, hurry up and tell him.

I know, but how ?
Things just got so messy.

He forgave me for being gay,
so that's one pardon.

He won't forgive me again,
much less now.

Apart from forgiving
the escort thing,

he has to forgive me
for making him forgive me

for something unforgivable,
so it's a mess.

Calm down, I'm an expert
at screwing things up.

So I know the bigger the mess-up
the calmer you need to be.

I only get upset
when I don't mess things up.

Shut up, Oscar.
I'm desperate here.

If I tell them the truth now
Dad will never speak to me.

No, Luna, he'll accept it
if you tell them the right way.

There's no right way to do it.

Nothing is impossible
for us, okay ?

We just need to think clearly.

- Miss Magali ?
- Yes, Jamal.

Your parents said not to wait for them
for dinner because they'll be late.

No way. Really ?

My parents are insane.
They know we need to talk.

- Have you had dinner ?
- Not yet.

Let's have dinner together
like in the good old days.

And the time I switched
the keys on the key rack,

and a drunk guest couldn't get in
his room and peed his pants.

And the time
you put the unwrapped ice-cream

in your mom's friend's handbag ?

She had it coming.
The bitch was so mean to you.

That day you used two of my favorite
things, ice-cream and payback.

Jamal.
Do me a favor tomorrow.

Let me know
when they leave the room.

I need to speak with them
first thing.

And when I let the geese out
and they chased Dad ?

He ran away without spilling
a drop of his Dry Martini.

I was so impressed.

Come, let's go now.
It's getting late. Bye, honey.

- Bye.
- Have fun.

- Bye girls.
- Bye.

Come, come !

- Is it any good ?
- Delicious !

It was true.

Karin's mom acted as a mom
even when no one was around.

- Joana.
- Yes, Mom.

You had something to tell us.
How about now ?

But Karin decided to have some fun
before it all blew up.

I'll tell you later.
Let's finish the puzzle first ?

Sure.

- You had a nanny ?
- Yes. Why ?

And if you say she was a hooker,

and when your parents went out
she talked you into it.

It would be their fault for leaving
you with her. What about that ?

- That won't work.
- Why not ?

She's my cousin's kid's nanny.
She'd lose her job.

Keep thinking.
We're almost there.

Almost ? You're nuts.
We have nothing.

Just ideas that almost work,
but don't solve anything.

- Luna.
- What ?

- I got it. I have the solution.
- That's the sixth time, Oscar.

It's for real this time.
It's the Ninth Symphony of lies.

- The Notre Dame of deception.
- What's your plan ?

Your dad's family
is from Portugal, right ?

Yes. And ?

So he has relatives
he's never heard of, right ?

- I don't know. Maybe.
- A relative of his was an escort.

Her family knew nothing,
she lied to them about her job.

But years ago some closer relatives
discovered the truth and shunned her.

She organized a brothel
and made a fortune before she died.

She willed everything
to a grandnephew

she never knew
who lives in Brazil, your dad.

But to access the money,
a hundred thousand euros,

fifty thousand euros,
your dad has to sign a document

stating he understands
why his aunt lied

and he has nothing against
her lifestyle.

So your dad forgives his aunt,
but he's actually forgiving you.

So when you come clean with him
and he gets upset,

you can always say,

"So you forgave your aunt
for her money ?

You forgave your aunt for money,
but not your own daughter ?

What kind of a hypocrite
are you ?"

You want Dad to forgive
somebody that isn't real,

to have no reason
to judge me ?

Yes, it's a moral trap.

The moment he accepts the money
he's morally condemned.

He can't judge you
without judging himself.

He'll be trapped
like a bear in a snare.

He'll be forced
to accept your profession.

Perfect, right ?
It only costs 50,000 euros.

Let's do it.

- Mia. Have you got a minute ?
- Sure. I'll be right back.

- Your dad is here.
- My dad ?

Yes, he's outside.
He wants to see you.

What do you want to do ?

What do you want, Dad ?

Don't I have a right to know
where my kid works ?

Dad.

I just want to take a look.
What's the problem ?

- Hey !
- It's okay.

I'm Mia's dad.
Which of you slept with her ?

- Cut it out, Dad.
- I need to know. Who ? You ?

You ? And you ?

Have you slept with my daughter ?
Had a good time ?

- This way please.
- Get your hands off of me !

What's this, Mia ?
You said he'd control himself.

That he'd focus on his job
and forget this ?

- I did but...
- But what, Mia ? But what ?

Only one kind of person
is unpredictable. Parents.

Did your mom react
like you expected ?

I haven't told her yet.
But I will today, okay ?

No later than today.

Mom, there's something about me
you don't know,

and it's high time you did.

- What is it, son ?
- I'm a pimp.

I started at the laundry
next to the house

and I'm the country's
most successful sex dealer.

I hid it from you because I thought
you wouldn't approve of my lifestyle,

but it's my true calling
and I can't hide it anymore.

I love you Mom.

- Mom !
- I'm no longer your mom !

Haven't they left the room,
Jamal ?

They said they're hung-over,
indisposed.

They want to have lunch
in their room.

Did you say we need to talk ?

Yes, and they said they will
the next time you come.

They also said drive carefully.

Tell them I'm not leaving
without talking to them.

Lunch.

Come in.

Has Magali left ?

No, she says she's not leaving
until she speaks with you.

- Did you say we're indisposed ?
- Yes, but she wants to wait.

What do we do now ?

- What can we do ?
- That's what I ask you.

- There's nothing we can do.
- There must be something.

- We can't hide from her forever.
- So we just let her tell us ?

- What can we do ?
- That's what I ask you.

There's nothing we can do.
We must let her tell us.

We can't, if we let her tell us
she's an escort,

we'll have to be outraged,
won't we ?

I know, so what can we do ?

Being outraged means refusing
to take her money.

We won't be able to take
her escort money.

- We'll have to say it's dirty money.
- Yes, but what can we do ?

Here's what we can't do.
We can't be outraged.

We're too poor to be shocked.
We need that monthly check.

We could be outraged for a few months,
and then forgive her.

- Let's make a run for it.
- What ?

Let Jamal tell her
we're out of town.

We leave when it's dark
and stay away for a few days.

She has to give up some time.

She can't stay here forever.

Mia had dinner with a client
that evening.

Gilberto, two gimlets, please.

- I have a feeling about tonight.
- What feeling's that ?

- That it'll be unforgettable.
- I'm sure it will.

Don't get up, Mia.

How do you do.
I'm Mia's father.

- Dad, can we talk outside ?
- Hold on. And you are ?

- Eduardo.
- Eduardo ?

- Do you like Russian literature ?
- Dad.

Hold on, Mia.
Do you like Russian literature ?

Yes I do. Why ?

Then you'll like a Tolstoi story
I read the other day.

It's about a guy who sleeps
with a gorgeous hooker.

Then he finds out she's his sister.
You know how it ends ?

It ends with this sentence:

"All hookers are our sisters
or our daughters".

Great ending. Right, Eduardo ?

Okay, I think you guys
need to speak privately.

- Excuse me.
- I'm sorry.

Dad, you need
to quit doing this.

I'm not quitting.

That same evening,
Karin finished the puzzle with her mom.

In the living room ?

Remember when
we lived together ?

You complained
that we moved so much

we couldn't even hang
our paintings on the wall.

- I remember.
- I don't move anymore.

- I can hang all the artwork I want.
- Great.

There's a room in the house
you can hang your own artwork.

It's the room you sleep in.
It's yours whenever you want. Anytime.

Thanks, Mom.

Mom. I think it's time to talk to you
about what I mentioned.

Sure. Let's talk.

Karin told her everything
about her life as Karin.

And surprisingly enough,
her mom took it very well.

She said she didn't judge her
and the room was still hers.

- There's one more thing, Mom.
- What, honey ?

I'm launching a book, my autobiography,
and I'd love you to read it.

I'll read it today.

Your dad crossed all the lines.
All the lines, Mia.

I know, Ariel, I'm sorry.

So, tell me what we can do
to make sure he never does that again.

I don't know.

- But I do.
- You can't hurt him, Ariel.

No, how can you say that ?
I'd never do anything like that.

- I'll have someone do it for me.
- No, Ariel, he's my dad.

So help me find another solution.
One that's good for everyone,

so we won't have to use one
that's not good for everyone.

Your blood pressure meds ?

- Gin ?
- Yes.

Yes.

Magali !

You scared us, honey !
What are you doing here ?

I want you to know
that I know everything.

I know you guys know.

So in the end,
instead of her parents forgiving Magali,

Magali forgave her parents.

The next day, Oscar and I carried out
our plan to morally blackmail my dad.

- Mr. Andrade ?
- Yes.

I'm Amália Ribeiro's attorney.
I need a word with you.

At the same time Ariel executed his plan
to morally blackmail Mia's father.

Jéssica, do me a favor.

I want you to find out which escorts
go to Veranópolis university.

It's urgent, okay ?

That same day, after switching
all the hotel keys on the rack,

Magali left feeling
her mission was accomplished.

Thanks.

Did she just horn "screw it"
in Morse code ?

- Did she ?
- Will she stop sending us money ?

They signed it.

- It worked, Luna.
- This calls for a celebration.

Shortly after, Mom phoned
to tell me about the will.

She said Dad only signed
that document

to make sure
the money would go to a charity.

Keeping that dirty money
never crossed their minds.

- Hi Simone.
- Hi Ariel.

- How's my mom ?
- She's fine. She's outside knitting.

Thanks.

Son, it's been such a long time !
I've missed you so much.

How can you say that, Mom ?
I come to see you every day.

Don't try to fool me, Fernando.
You haven't been here in ages.

Look what I got you.
Pastries from Belém.

The real ones, okay ?
Made in Mooca.

You were always a good son.
You always were.

- Listen, remember Tarcísio ?
- The cleft lip guy ?

He had a kid.
Guess where the christening is.

In Cambuci chapel.

That's great news.
Try the pastries, Mom.

Professor Larsson,
I'm Vanessa, a student.

Love your book
but don't understand something.

Can we talk ?

Mia's dad fell for it.

NEW CONTACT

If you understand that, you'll see
it's an epistemological issue.

Like Horkheimer said...

- Professor.
- Yes ?

It's hot in here.
Can I take my shirt off ?

It wasn't hot at all
in his São Paulo hotel,

but Professor Larsson felt a sudden urge
to take his shirt off too.

Being the bright intellectual
he was,

specializing in the theory
of communication,

it never occurred to him
that he was being filmed.

Come in.

- Hi Mom.
- Hi.

You're going back to Brazil
today, right ?

Yes.

I spent the entire night
reading your book.

What do you think ?

Joana,
why publish that ?

You don't need
to expose yourself like that.

You have enough money
to do whatever you want.

Why don't you move
somewhere close to us ?

We could be a family again.
You could live a normal life.

- Move here.
- Mom, I need to publish that book.

- You don't need to.
- I do.

They'll think it's my fault
you became an escort.

They'll think
I wasn't a good mom.

Sorry, Mom.
